These industries are yet immature, be-
cause the city is young, but 81! Of them
are in hourishing condition. The Fort
Worth Boiler and Machine Works have
lately been reOrganiZed on larger basis,
and will do very heavy trade manufac-
turing Car wheels, well boring maChin-
cry, etc. a number Of the wealthy men
of the city are heavily interested in this
plant. a fuller and more general de-
5cription Of this important industry can
be found in another column of this issue.
j. T. Burt & Co., cornice and felting,
do the largest business Of the kind in the
state.
+. W. Bradley, Manufacturer seals snd
brass, iron and steel goods, etc, etc,
etc do 9 very heavy business.
The -four industry is well represented
in the houses named, which have 8 ca
pacity Of several thousand bsErels per
Gay.
THE IRON INDUSTRY.
A considerable part OF the present actiy-
ity in business is due TO the new man
ufactUring enterprises which are in the
course OF erection and the extension and
undermining OF old works now going on.
These enterprises consume & vast guam
tity Of material of ali kinds and employ d
great number OF working men, and their
influence is often felt directly in remote
localities. The largest manufacturing
enterprise in Fort Worth and the one in
which our citizens feel the most pride is
the Fort Worth Iron Works, whose pres
ent success and future prospects prove
that manufactures of the largest kind can
be conducted here with profit. Four
years ago the Fort Worth Machine and
Boiler Works was projected, ana though
they were begun in q very small way and
with limited capital, the projectors have
created demand for their manufactures
until now they are employing
constantly between fifty ana one
hundred hands. Their principal
business is the manufacture Of
artesian well-drilIing machinery, boilers,
railroad castings and architectural iron
work, although they take special contracts
to make almost anything that is made
from iron and steel. Their business
having grown to sn extent far beyond the
capacity of their works, a joint stock
company was formed, with q capital of
$4,000, under the name of the Fort
Worth Iron Works, the new company alb
sorbing the old Fort Worth Machine and
Boiler Works Company THE new company
have obtained their charter and let the
contract tor the erection Of their works,
which viii be located az the corner of
Lamar and North streets. The main
building will be 50x300 feet, two stories
high and the foundry will be 60xl80 feet,
one story. The company intend, at an
cary day, TO put in Csr wheel plant,
and, in addition TO their general line Of
foundry aud machine business, Will build
freight and passenger cars, giving en-
ployment to great number of men.
FACTORIES IN DEMAND.
Fort Worth should have paper fac
tory. There is not one in the state that
TIE GAZETTE is aware OF, yet vast quau-
titles of paper is consumed. q very
large rumoer of newspapers are printed
in Texas which is alone sufficient &c sup
port large factory. a paper factory
can be maize profitable here. The purest
artesian water can be had for the trouble
and expense of boring well, and this
is the chief requisite for the manufacture
of fine paper. The attention of those de-
string an investment of this nature is
called to the facts stated above. There
is money in the enterprise.
WOODEN AND COTTON MILLS.
There Is not q single wooden or cotton
mill in the city. Glance at the map on the
front page and note the distributing facili
ties offered. Then scan the table show
ing the number of bales of cotton and the
number Of sheep raised in the counties
tributary TO the city, and the question OF
supply and demand is solved. Mills in
other cities in Texas are doing well with |
not near the advantages offered that can
be had in this city. The questions of |
labor and fuel which enter into enter
prlses of this kind are more than counter !
by the cheapness of the raw |
which can be had in eny |
quantity desired. These facts will bear |
analysis and inspection, and the atten- |
ton Of capitalists is directed to them.
